Yep.

... GPS cannot give you
compass directions without movement. Deal with it.


Yes, it can. Deal with it.

Scroll down to page 10, where it explains that this unit is two GPS
receivers in a fixed mount (it also has a gyro "in case of GPS signal
blockage).

There is a similar suitcase-sized instrument for surveyors, but I can't
find a link to one.
